⚡️NATO voodoo
NATO threat to Ruschia began as a meme. An excuse to murder millions of Ukrainians.
And yet without a shot being fired from a NATO gun, Ruschia consigned 400,000 Ruschist soldiers and Wanger Nazis to death (RIP).
45 years of Soviet production of matériel is so much 💨 now. Rusting hulks.
And for what?
Finland and Sweden are in NATO breathing down Ruschists neck.
Ruschia's navy's had to leave Crimea. And its economy permanently destroyed. Nice work NATO.
What started out as a lie in Ruschist Disinfolklore.net has become true.
Magic.
⚡️Cutting edge visual imaging techniques continue to chart damage Covid causes inside our bodies, and to our brains.
Such techniques as Super Bright X-rays and MRI scans that focus on water molecules inside our brains will not be available at a retail level for ordinary civilians like us for decades.
Yet, what they show us today about the impact of Covid is akin to how the first x-rays enlightened us about broken bones back in the day.
As an aside, while we’re on the subjects of X-rays: As a child my mother, in rural Pennsylvania, and her best friend used to get X-rays of their feet in the local Drug Store, on the way home from school. it wasn’t known then how potentially damaging X-rays were.
"Uni of California used advanced imaging techniques to identify persistent T lymphocyte activation in many parts of the body up to 2.5 years after acute SARS‑CoV‑2 infection...also found SARS‑CoV‑2 RNA in rectal tissue in all symptomatic participants..."

“Interestingly, we not only noted widespread microstructural alterations in patients with long COVID, but also in those unimpaired after having contracted COVID-19.”
“So what separated the long COVID patients from the fully recovered COVID patients?
“The researchers discovered three long COVID symptom constellations (fatigue, loss of sense of smell, cognitive impairment) could be correlated with specific patterns of microstructural changes in the brain. So what distinguished long COVID patients from recovered patients seemed to be how the illness particularly reshaped the brain.
“Expression of post-COVID symptoms was associated with specific affected cerebral networks, suggesting a pathophysiological basis of this syndrome” Rau notes…”

⚡️Why Ukraine will win: Titushko is fighting for Ukraine.
Yesterday I was asked by an old friend I hadn’t chatted with for a while: ‘Do you still think Ukraine will win, and if so why?’
What a gift of a question.
‘Yes,’ I responded. ‘Why? Well…
‘First, every morning I spend fifteen minutes watching battlefield updates from the 1,500 km contact line. Every day, I watch Russia attack on the same vectors using the same strategy, and being annihilated by Ukrainian First Person View drones. Russia’s second army in the world can’t even capture tiny villages metres away from territory it has occupied since 2014 that are 1,000 km east of Kyiv. And eventually as the US and Soviets had to from Afghanistan, the Ruschist invaders will have to go home.
Second, unlike the vast majority of commentators and foreign policy professionals, journalists or even diplomats posted to Kyiv, I spent seven years in eastern Ukraine 2015-2022 speaking to elected leaders. Every day, including in the areas now occupied by Ruschia, I heard the same message. For seven years. ‘We want a European future. And we will fight for it.’ This is why I know it’s impossible for Ruschia to remain in Ukraine. As Ukraine’s first president said in a 2020 interview:
Third, there’s no power on heaven or earth which stop Ukraine’s resistance. The Biden White House may have successfully flushed out the Republican’s contradictions, at a short-term cost to the availability of weaponry to Ukraine. I still believe as I said in my recent
interview that eventually America will overcome its susceptibility to Ruschist Disinfolklore, and it will go All-In on Ukraine. Ruschia would retreat within a week if Ukraine had access to state of the art weapons like ATACMs, F-16s fitted with proper radar systems and no constraints on ammo for its existing and soon to arrive weapons systems. However, even without US’s help, Ukraine’s core competency is innovation. With less than 500 anti-tank Javelin systems, together with its spontaneous and decentralised resistance, Ukraine forced Ruschia to withdraw from the Kyiv region after four weeks in March 2022. By contrast as I see every single day, Ruschia’s core competence is repeating failed Meat Assaults day after day at the expense of 1,000 soldiers’ lives every day for months on end.Finally, many are not aware of the insurgent war Ukraine is fighting on undefeated and indefensible Ruschist territory. Ruschia’s entire economy depends on a tiny number of oil and gas refineries - Ukraine successfully attacked and destroyed large parts of two of Ruschia’s state of the art oil and gas terminals last week - one near St Petersburg (1000 km from Ukraine) and one in Bryansk. Western leaders reportedly begged President Zelenskyy to cease attacking Ruschia’s export infrastructure after Ukraine attacked a refinery in Novorossisk last month - you see nothing will stop Ukraine now. No power on heaven and earth. Ruschia’s railway system is infinitely vulnerable. Its aeroplanes keep crash landing. And as the meme goes Ukraine has not even started yet. Soon Ukraine will be manufacturing a million drones a month and with juicy military targets across 1/6 of the world’s surface and no airdefence systems left, Ruschia is a busted flush.
Ruschia’s only play, since its retreat from Kyiv on 29 March 2022 has been to use info warfare to persuade Ukraine’s western partners to withhold support. Through millions of vectors of Disinfolklore every day Ruschia fights these informational battles. It’s meat assaults in tiny villages in eastern Ukraine are so many props for a strategy that even on the information plane is failing.
Here’s another reason why Ruschia will fail: even its erstwhile supporters in Ukraine are fighting to the death to defeat Ruschism.
Russia’s president of Ukraine paid Vadim Titushko to beat up journalists at the Maidan in November 2013.
What had been a small protest that was petering out erupted into a revolution as a result of this practice of paying agents provocateurs.
“Titushki” quickly became a universally understood signifier in the Ukrainian and Russian languages.
So, today, what is Vadim Titushko doing?
He’s fighting for Ukraine. And this is why Ukraine will win. Russia can’t even win or keep the loyalty of those who once served its interests.
P.S. One reason why Titushki as a term caught fire in Ukraine and Russia is because it described a phenomenon - paid, fake demonstrators - that everyone already knew about and for which there wasn’t a term. Now, after years of Russian paid far right, anti-immigrant and anti-vaxx fake demonstrations in the West, we need to understand this phenomenon too.
⚡️Ruschist created 2015 migrant crisis in Europe. By carpet-bombing civilians. Ruschist funded Brexiteers and populist heads of EU states participated and benefitted from this hybrid warfare tactic.
Ruschist drove 8m Ukrainians into the EU after Feb 24th 2022 as its attempt to destroy solidarity, the EU and to help its useless military to victory in Ukraine.
Finland is teaching us now that Ruschia’s Fake anti-vax, anti-migrant, far right and far left interference in our politics can be beaten. We must learn to recognise better Ruschist Mana in their Disinfolklore performances.Ruschia sees our democracies as so many theatres in which they can puppeteer our emotions.
⚡️“Polish Units” are a staple of Ruschist disinfolklore.net Stalin erroneously blamed his murder of 4m Ukrainians on Poland (Polish saboteurs and mercenaries).
"There were repeated stories about ten thousand “Polish mercenaries” assembling in localities near the bridge which I would be ordered to visit by my supervisors where I would only find a few mystified village elders..."
The purpose of the "Polish Mercenary" troll was to inculcate fear in the minds of Ukrainians trapped in Russia-occupied Luhansk: Out there in the Outer Realm, the Ruschist Disinfolklore said implicitly, Polish Mercenaries are assembling ready to kill you...

⚡️Commentators like danielsrosehill are stirring division in Ireland. Who the hell are they to call for the exclusion of Jews from Ireland? Jews have been living in Ireland since we became the Irish.
Who are such commentators to tell Irish Jewish community members to leave or not enter their homeland?
What do they profit from promoting fear among Irish community members?
@danielsrosehill is engaging in a classic Ruschist propaganda tactic (probably unknowingly):
“Yes, to break a wire, you have to twist it both ways. So support the most opposed social groups. One of my characters explains it this way: "We don't have to convert anyone, just find out what people believe in and convince them even more..."
So they attack the tiny minority promoting Hamas, but ordering all Irish Jews to leave or not enter Ireland.
Who are you @danielsrosehill to tell Israel’s president, son of an Irish woman and man, not to return to his ancestral land?
I don’t think you intend to be antisemitic but singling out Irish Jews for exclusion from Ireland is antisemitic, and a perfect example of how dumb, rent a quote, yet seemingly ‘well-meaning™️’ commentators end up promoting antisemitic tropes without even realising it.
Note his next step will be to label any Jew in ireland as being without integrity (I.e. not a real Jew) 🙄.
